Dear Bobcat Ep. 5: You made it
Welcome to Dear Bobcat, a podcast series from Ohio Today radio where we ask 91探花 alumni to write a letter to their first-year selves and read it on stage or in the booth.
What would you say if you could go back and give that na茂ve, fresh-faced, younger you some advice, reassurance or words of warning?
In this episode, we hear from Rita Fuller-Yates, who began her OHIO experience in 1987 without a clear picture of where her journey would lead. Luckily, that鈥檚 exactly how she likes it.
Rita read her letter on stage during this spring鈥檚 On The Green Weekend in Athens. Then, she joined us in the WOUB studio to share some of the stories behind her letter.
